Ep. 151

As part of our “Last Call” series ahead of the May 12 primary, we’re giving each candidate in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District one final opportunity to speak directly to voters.


In this interview, we sit down with Melanie Williams to ask three key questions:

• What is the biggest issue facing NE-02?

• What is your top priority in Washington?

• How do you plan to win in November?


Plus, her final pitch to voters before Election Day.
